a Great Movement.

| According to the statistical report
of the Sunday schools in the United
States rendered at the late Interna-
tional Convention held in Chicago,
there has been an increase in the
scholar membership of all the Sunday
schools in the u. S. since 1884 Of
365, Gas. Its interesting to know by
what agencies this increase has been
secured, for it shows that great mis-
sionary work has been done to bring
an army of 3G5, 700 into active mem
bership with our Sunday schools
No more important work can be con-
ceivcd' of, for it has to do with the
destiny of our entire country.
The three last Annual reports OF
the American Sunday-School Union,
the old undenominational Society
shat cares for the Children" who
are provided for byno one else, show
that since 1884, it has brought 1885,
O34 children into 1917 new Sunday
schools, a number equal to 5000 more
than one half of all the increase re-
ported as having been secured by this
and all other agencies during these
three years. But this American Sum
day-School Union did more than this
it aided 1926 other schools, which
have 16,771 teachers and SIS, VA
scholars,-so that in these three
years it reached 1872 communities
and Sunday Schools, and 700, 74S
children and youth; and then rcaided
and revisited these schools 9,245
times, besides making 81, 584 visits to
families, supplying 45,019 destitute
persons with the scriptures and hold
ind 27,247 religious meetings. That
there is great need for more of just
such work in our country, is evident
from the fact that according to the
international Secrctary's report there
are but 9,O34, AS scholars in all the
Sunday schools in the United States,
that report to this convention, which
the chairman of the Executive Com
mittcc said was five per cent. too
small. If five per cent. were added,
we have S,436, POI scholars in all our
Sunday schools. But the statement
was made that 20 per ct. should be
deducted for those over 81 and under
six years of age and those who attend
more than one school and are count
ed twice; which deducted would leave
6,74S, 9G1 children and youth of
school age in all our Sunday schools,
while there arc at least 5000, 900
more children of that age in our coun-
try, and very likely most of them at
attend no Sunday school.
Truly the American Sunday School
Union is doinga great work, for pres
ent and future America, for which
there is most urgent need. Any who
would like to read its last annual re-
port, or aid it's work by gift of funds
may send to Rev. j. II. McCunLAUeH,
Henderson. Ky.

Communicated.
To the Officers and Patrons Of the
Public Primary Schools Of Jefferson

To the Officers and Patrons Of the
Public Primary Schools of Jefferson
County:
The teachers in the public schools
of jefferson county, in the hope of
increasing the efficiency of the work
in the same, have, after mature de-
liberation and careful consideration,
adopted.a schedule for grading the
primary schools.
This scheme is not adopted as an
experiment or. novelty. 1t has been
tried elsewhere and found to be eff
fectual, and some few of our own
schools have tried it and succeeded
satisfactorily.
The schedule of studies in the sew
eral grades will be printed and copy
placed into the hands of every teacher
and school officer, and il is hoped that
they will give it full and fair trial.
The teachers have, heretofore, been
working without any definite aim in
view, and pupils have been made to
go over the same studies and the
same parts of the book from year to
year, but by the use of this schedule
the pupils will be able to do certain
amount Of work each year and have
definite aim in view, passing from
grade to grade, and finally to gradu-
alton, after completing the prescribed
course. BY this means more regu-
lar attendance will be secured, q
healthy spirit of emulation engen-
dered among the pupils of the same
school and spirit of general rivalry
amond the several schools of the
county as to which can do the best
work and succeed best in its work.
Then, when teacher has to leave one
school and take another, he will not
have to waste time in organizing and
classifying the school, but go on with
the work where the former teacher
left it. The catalogue will show
where he is to begin and what pupils
arc in certain grades and classes.
The teachers of this Institute,
therefore, beg that all the school Off
GERS, patrons and teachers of the
schools of this county will give this
plan fair trial, and that the press of
tic COUNTY will lend its. aid in this
good work, so unanimously approved
and endorsed.
We most freely and cordially re-
commend this schedule to all who de-
sire the fullest success of our public
schools and the best results from the
work of the same.
